The FOMC meeting on May 6–7, 2025, currently underway, is pivotal for crypto markets. Analysts expect rates to hold at 4.25%–4.5% to assess recent tariff changes, per economic projections. Bitcoin (BTC), at $94,600 on May 5 (down 0.94% daily), has already shown optimism, climbing above $95,000 earlier this month. Stable rates could support risk assets, potentially pushing BTC toward $100,000 if sentiment holds. Crypto folks, beware: if the FOMC signals rate hikes or hawkish policy, BTC could dip sharply—past meetings have triggered 8% drops. High leverage risks amplified losses, so secure positions and monitor the Fed’s statement closely.
Been tracking BTC at $94,600 & around for weeks now, and this FOMC meeting might keep you on edge, especially with its potential to push BTC to $100,000 or trigger a dip. The cautions about rate hikes and leverage align with your focus on market risks.
